| Ingredients | |
| 1 | cinnamon stick |
| 8 | whole cloves |
| ΒΌ of a nutmeg, grated | |
| 2 tablespoons | cardamom pods |
| 1 half teaspoon | black peppercorns |
| A big 1 inch | chunk of gresh ginger, grated |
| 1 large | vanilla bean sliced |
| 1 | dried red chili pepper |
| 2 tablesoons maple syrup, agave nectar (honey is used traditionally, but not vegan) -- add more if you want it sweeter, but the nondairy milk will give it an extra sweetness and you might find you like the spicy heat better than the sweet! 1-2 tablespoons loose leaf tea: traditionally black tea is used, like a good ceylon or darjeeling, but you can substitute with oolong, green, white or an herbal base like rooibos or even chamomile. Steer clear of mint, citrus or any flavored teas, though. | |
| 2 cups | water |
| 2 cups | nondairy milk, (almond is amazing!) |
Method
Mix water and herbs in medium saucepan and bring to low simmer for about ten to fifteen minutes. Then add the tea and let simmer for another five minutes. Strain out the solids and return liquid to the pot. Add in milk and sweetener and heat low heat until warm. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon or nondairy foam.
